the tag on the side says 1950

It is the most basic of the basic Does not even have a radio.

No airbags, no power steering.

I am pretty much looking for a light car to make fast

Already have my heart set on a Nissan Sentra, 200SX, or G20

They are all pretty much the same

But yeah, 4 doors and some extra room couldn't hurt

But I drive 50 miles a day. If the car I get is nice enough I may keep it garaged and drive it occasionally instead of using it to commute. But gas mileage could be an issue.

I was going to ask how you ended up with a lower back fusion but then I took a closer look at your avatar and...... (Sorry,couldn't resist lol)

I do have two kids so could probably benefit from the Luxury 4 door over the smaller 2 door.


P chassis has a different front suspension setup that is better suited for that luxury feel.

He's just making fun of me. Using launch control on a P11 and VE, I'm getting wheel hop lunching at 4k rpm. Mind you I not running a stiff suspension or very stiff motor mounts.

Also you mentioned 1990 G20, in your off topic thread, I would go with that. It's about as light as a P10 will get (~2600lbs). And it will out handle a lot of cars after you get it done right.

Tuning is the same, but getting the ecu to swapped is the different story. 2000+ will need a new engine harness or step down.

But I can always get better suspension down the road, right?

Honestly I have no clue on anything pertaining to the multi link suspension. I know it tends to be used on "luxury" cars as its more comfortable than a McPherson strut assembly.


That question is better suited for the p chassis owners. I only own two b13s.

The multi-link front suspension is close to double wishbone A-arms. It is a far superior suspension system than the traditional MacPherson strut can ever dream of being.

The 200SX has a rear beam and MacPherson struts up front.

But if you dont care about handling, go for the 200SX. It is lighter and will move faster with the VE engine when compared to a P10, that is for sure.

What about fuel economy?

I do care about Handling!

I know the G20 does not have a LSD but does it have ABS? From what I was seeing online the SE-R Has LSD, ABS, and discs all around.

This is one of the things that made the car attractive to me
